@maxcohensen: Saw a tiktok on here from a 40-something year old woman reporting, to her disarray, early-onset osteoporosis despite a strict regimen of pilates and yoga. Loading your muscles heavy and having a force demand placed on your bones is the best way to prevent this. Muscle is health. Essential to both men and women. Far too many young women are nudged towards cardio, low-protein diets, and other catabolic behavior. To adhere to the petite beauty standard I suppose. All is fine and dandy until hormones shift and the 2% muscle loss per year starts. Then you couple the fact it’s much harder to build muscle than to maintain it, exacerbated by the slowings of a post-menopausal hormonal environment. Then you’ll be wishing you started sooner. Lend your future self some grace and build a safety net of muscle while you’re young. Man or woman. Finally, to be clear, there’s no such thing as training for bulky or lean muscle, that’s all descriptions that follow from the kitchen. Train in accordance with your goals. Move as you age. Future you will thank you
